thn senate today a vigorous attack
was made Upon that portion' of the
anny bill which confers upon the
president disc-retl/inrry power to increase -
crease the strength 'of the army to
the maximum Jlxjirt by the bill. Mr.
Bacon of Cteorgiiii began thn attack ,
andi Mr. Plart of ( Connecticut , replyIng -
Ing ; , , maintained that discretionary
power ought to be-conferred upon the
president , and expressed astonishment
that anybody shouJll entertain a fear
thai the power would ever bo abused.
Mfc. Bacon declared that Qn would
rather HCO nls party coirlemncd to >
universal and never-ending1 banish
ment from political power than to see
such authority placed In the hands of I
thcp 'president. AT amendment open- jjj
Ing the way to the appointment of " 1
volunteer officers to gnidorf as high , !
as that of captalh In the regular es '
tablishment WIIH uloptcd.
.fust before adjournment Mr. Carter-
of Montana called up therlill appor
tioning the representatives of the-
United States among the several states. .

Consideration : was resiiTiicd in tile
senate of the anny reorganization bH1.
Mr. Hawley , chairman of the com
mittee on military affairs , withdrew
the committee amendment , providing-
for the retini ment of officers on the
active list of the army. Senator Tel
ler then alsi > withdrew an amendment
to that seutlon.
Mr. Hoar ( Mass. ) formally offered
the amendment of which he had giv
en notice , providing- that no ilirther
military force shall be used in the
Philippines except Birch as majbe nec
essary to keep order in places in the
peaceable possession of the 'United
States , etc.
Mr. Carter , a member of the com-
mlttL e en military affairs , moved that
the amendment be laid on the table.
The motion prt-valjed , 32 to 19.
Mr. Pettlgre\v's amendment provid
ing that one-tnird of the appolntmets
to commissioned rank fn the regular
army should be made from the officers
of the volunteer army the amend
ment which Avas under discussion
when the sennte adjourned last even
ing was defeated 38 to G ,
Mr. Bticon ( Ga. ) moved to strike
out. the provision that the president
in his discretion may increase the
number of corporals In any troop of
cavalry to eight nnd the number of
privates to seventy-six. He said he
did not believe the president should
have discretionary power to regulate
the size of the army.
Mr Daniel ( Va. ) offered an amend
ment providing that volunteer officers
may be designated for examination
and those who establish their fitness
may be appointed to the grade of cap
tain in the regular army as well as to
the grade of first and second lieuten
ants as provide for by the senate com
mittee's amendment. Mr. Daniel said
he felt It was due the volunteer offi
cers that they should have proper op
portunity for advancement In the
army. The amendment was adopted ,
24 to 22.
In response to a question by Mr.
Berry ( Ark. ) , Mr. Platt said ho feared
the pending bill did not confer upon
the president the authority to Increase
the army from 58,000 to 100,000 at
any time. That power , ho thought ,
ought to be conferred upon the pres-
trinnt
Continuing , Mr. Platt said he was
astonished at the fear expressed LSy >
some senators that the president
would not exercise such an authority
with due regard to the country's inter
est. There need bo no fear that the
United Staten would ever have a pres
ident who would ubuec the power con
ferred upon him. He urged that the l
power to InsreuBo the army be left
In the hands of the prcHldt-nt , who
ought to bo regarded nH a connrlen-
tloua. able and patriotic man.

Ogden , Utah , Jan. 12 , 1901tr-Spe- (
clal. ) The Paclflts Coast Division of
the Salvation Armr , whose no l work
in the Interests off fallen humanity has
done i so much for this ivcstoRn- country ,
has Its lueadquartors In thia city. One
of the bclghtosb and most enthusiastic-
w.orkcm isLieut Miss A'JubeL Clarice
Hunt. Everyone knows how these devoted , -
voted people parade the streets day or
night , exposing themselvua. to all kinds-
of weather , that no opportunity may
be lost of rescuing soira- poor unfortunate
nato from , sin and suffering. In some-
cases , their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost srilcldaL Their anawer-
to such criticisms invariably Is thelr
unfatllng faith In hbe Divine Injunc
tion to "do right and fear not. " Lieut.
Hunt explains onoof the means she
employs to keep her "Soldiers" In good ,
health , as follows :
" 1 have found Dodd's Kidney Pills of
great value in cases of Kidney and
Liver Trouble tcad Diseases contracted
from severe colds. Several of our lads
and lassies have been repeatedly ex
posed to coliS weather and rain , and
have spoken for hours oui of doors ,
often with \ret feet and chilled to the
marrow. As a consequence of this ex
posure , Pulmonary Trouble , Rheu
matism and Kidney Disorders often en
sue. In such cases I always advlso
Dodd's Kidney Pills , for I have no
ticed better results , quicker relief , and
more lasting benefit from the use of
Dodd'a Kidney Pills in such cases than
from all other medicines I know of
combined. They cleanse the blood ,
regulate the system and destroy dis
ease. "
A medicine which can do what Lieut.
Hunt says so positively Dodd's Kidney
Pills do Is surely worth the attention
of all who suffer with any form of
Kidney Trouble , Rheumatism , or Blood
Disorders.
Many good servants are bad masters.
A heated knife cuts freshly baked
bread well.
Cocoanut oil thickens and darkens
the eyebrows.
SCALDING WATER
